There is a lot of high-level discussion here regarding the many issues with=
 Ada strings and UTF8 - and I agree for the most part, but I think the solu=
tion here would be to add some new versions or amendments to Text_IO and Di=
rectories that take Wide_Strings and Wide_Wide_Strings for paths. It would =
be intuitive, solve the problem, and fit the style of the runtime.

Perhaps I will submit an AI for it.
